Chelsea Fans Demand Premier League Investigation into Todd Boehly’s Vivid Seats Ties
Supporters accuse the Chelsea co-owner of a conflict of interest over his involvement in a ticket resale site listing inflated Premier League ticket prices.
- The Chelsea Supporters’ Trust (CST) has formally written to Premier League CEO Richard Masters, urging an investigation into Todd Boehly’s ownership stake in Vivid Seats.
- Boehly, a co-owner of Chelsea FC, holds a 41% stake in Vivid Seats, a platform listing Premier League tickets at inflated prices, including Chelsea matches.
- Vivid Seats is explicitly named by the Premier League as an unauthorised ticket resale website, raising regulatory and ethical concerns.
- The Football Supporters’ Association has backed the CST’s call for action, stating that club owners should not profit from activities undermining anti-touting efforts.
- Neither Boehly nor Chelsea FC has publicly addressed the allegations, further fueling frustration among fans and stakeholders.
